New UFC fighter says he sizes up Whole Foods shoppers for a fight
Ronald
Humphrey doesn’t have any shortage of confidence when it comes
to his appetite for violence.

Humphrey, who recently beat Alexis
Miranda on
Dana White's Contender Series via submission to earn an

Ultimate Fighting Championship contract, grabbed fans'
attention for his killer instinct. He has since claimed that he
“embodies violence a lot in a healthy way.â€

Ronald Humphrey explains why he says he ’embodies violence’
after earning a UFC contract

When asked about the criticism of Ian Garry’s
performance in the recent welterweight title fight and UFC CEO
Dana
White's comments about the Irishman's lack of killer instinct,
Humphrey offered a very different perspective, explaining that
violence is a central part of how he approaches life.

“Yeah, I embody violence. I love it,†Humphrey said. “Literally,
I’ll walk into like a Whole Foods sometimes, and I just see all the
people that can’t fight. I’m like, man, I could really f*ck all
y’all up, and there’s nothing y’all could do about it, and I could
take this store over. And maybe I have like a couple of minutes
until the police get there, but like even then, like you’re done.
Like you’re cooked. Like what are you going to do to me? So yeah, I
definitely embody violence a lot in a healthy way.â€

Humphrey (5-0) showcased his well-rounded skillset against Miranda
on
Week 3 of DWCS 2026, scoring a big takedown in the opening
seconds, picking apart his counterpart with precise strikes and
finishing with a rear-naked choke.

Dustin Poirier admits he helped teammate cheat scale to make weight
Dustin
Poirier will do whatever it takes to help his teammates.

Poirier recently recalled an incident in which he helped a teammate
make weight illegally. Poirier's friend was over the weight limit
for a fight in Mississippi, and the former
Ultimate Fighting Championship interim titleholder resorted to
manipulating the scale to help him.

Dustin Poirier details how he lifted an overweight teammate
during a Mississippi weigh-in

Fighters shed every bit of clothing and stand behind a towel when
they're close to the weight limit. Poirier stood behind the towel
with his teammate while everyone else was on the other side. “The
Diamond†claims he slightly lifted his friend so that he made
weight.

“One time one of my buddies was fighting in Mississippi,†Poirier
said on the “Deep Waters†podcast. “And they had the towel out, he
was naked, he was over [the weight limit]. I was behind the towel
with him. Everybody was in front. I grabbed a handful of hairy man
*ss cheeks and I lifted him up a little bit, got him on
weight.â€

Poirier (30-10) hung up his gloves after losing to Max
Holloway last year. He has since admitted that he misses
fighting and hasn't entirely ruled out a return.

Zabit Magomedsharipov signs with RAF, faces fellow UFC vet in Abu Dhabi

Zabit Magomedsharipov is heading to the wrestling mats.

Promotional officials confirmed to MMA Fighting that Magomedsharipov is set to face fellow UFC featherweight veteran Giga Chikadze at RAF Abu Dhabi. The event takes place Nov. 14 at Etihad Arena.

Magomedsharipov had his final MMA fight nearly seven years ago, defeating Calvin Kattar in the main event of UFC Moscow in November 2019. The 35-year-old went 6-0 during his UFC run, including a victory over Jeremy Stephens, along with a trio of stoppage wins.

Chikadze is a 13-fight UFC veteran who began his promotional run with seven straight wins before running into Kattar in the main event of UFC Vegas 46 in January 2022, losing a lopsided unanimous decision in his first UFC main event. Since then, “Ninja†picked up a win against Alex Caceres, but has since dropped his past four octagon appearances.

Additionally, Jordan Burroughs opponent for the event is set as he'll face Azamat Nurykau from their classic matchup during the 2019 world championships — which Burroughs won in dramatic fashion.

RAF Abu Dhabi is headlined by a cruiserweight crossover championship match between Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev.
